I agree Hrdgain. With the first week, it's only compounds, and no direct arm work. The second mesocycle can have some added isolations, and the third can have metabolic stress techniques, ect... This is all coming from the Pimp HST book that's for the advanced reader. I'll try and post the whole book, but it would probably confuse most here.

I'm actually outlining my next HST cycle now 0311, I'm going to use it to continue my cutter. I will be cutting down my time between sets to more for a circut training effect. I think it will be benificial to use this on a cutter, mainly because you are not working to failure (and at below main cals, its tough to go all out).

to that end, I may keep the 2 weeks of 15's to facilitate more fat burning, what do you think 0311?

I'll post up a spread sheet of what my projected workout will be later today.

EDIT: after reading through your spead sheet 0311, i'm simply going to stick to your plan, but I will switch up certain movements. olympic squats to hack squats, ect ect. but for the most part it will be unchanged.

I agree. The high reps in addition to very short rest periods could be very beneficial. You could also add in some carb cycling.

So far my brother loves it. It's a nice reward to add in some extra isolations with the lower the rep range. I'd recommend possibly doing your hack squats for the 12's, but moving to A2G for the rest. That's why I don't include any direct hamstring/glute work. If you are only doing hacks, think about adding a hammie exercise in there.

yeah i'll have to add some leg curls or something. I dont want my inexsperience with A2G squats hold me back from pushing the wieghts I should be. I think that may hinder my hypertrophy gains.

in the future I will work on A2G's, i hate having a weakness, or a lagging in my training. Thats one weak in the chain that will eventually need to become a strength.

You should really look into doing 4 weeks of the 5x5 I'm doing. It'll most definately bring up those A2G squats for you. Before I started it back around the summer time, I was only just getting into A2G squats. I'll tell you though, doing them three times a week will really get you loving them! Maybe you won't have to do the exact program, but maybe begin each of your three workouts a week with the layout I'm doing:

Monday: A2G (5x5) same weight
Wednesday: A2G front squats (5x5) same weight
Friday: A2G (1x5) pyramid to max set

It'll take you maybe 15 minutes tops to do this before you begin whatever you're on. I personally found all my subsequent lifts got stronger after doing these first in my routines.

Just something to think about.
